USGS Topo · Published 1987About this map
The town of Backus serves as a focal point on the eastern edge of this 1970s-era survey, positioned along the Burlington Northern railroad. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling waters of Pine Mountain Lake and a dense network of smaller basins such as Sleepy Island Lake and Ox Camp Lake. Within the Deerfield State Forest, the terrain rises toward the Foothills and Bull Moose areas, where the Pine Mountain Lookout Tower stands as a notable landmark for fire observation.
